Learning the Spanish Language is VitalIn our day, knowing more than one language is important and knowing Spanish is vital. Spanish is becoming more and more popular in English speaking countries, especially the U.
S. Knowing Spanish has so many benefits: it gives you a competitive edge in the job market (I have met countless qualified people who didnt get the job because they couldnt speak Spanish), gives you the opportunity to be more cultured, travel to 22morecountries and speak their language, open up opportunities that didnt exist before, and so much more. It might even spice up your life by marrying a latino or latina, like I did :-)Content and OverviewThis course contains over 60lectures and 4hours of videowith updated and added content added regularly. I've designed a simple step by step process which anyone can follow. Its designed for the beginner and will take you to an intermediate level of Spanish where youll be conversational. (Im in the process of creating the Advanced Spanish course that youll be able to graduate to if you desire to take your Spanish to another level.)I didnt learn Spanish until I was 20 yrs old and couldnt speak a lick of it before then (well, I could count to 10 like most everyone else but that was it.) Because I didnt grow up bilingual like most Spanish teachers did, Im able to simplify the learning process for you and give you that perspective that others simply cant because Ive been in your shoes.
In this course, you will first learn half the battle of being fluent in Spanish and that is pronunciation. No matter how well you learn vocabulary, phrases, grammar, etc. if you cant pronounce the words right you wont be understood. Thus, pronunciation being half the battle.
Then youll learn basic meet and greet vocabulary and phrases. Memorization is important to learning Spanish but as you progress through the course youll learn why youre saying what youre saying and will be able to use those principles with any word or verb and in this way youll learn to be yourself in Spanish. Also, as part of your vocabulary building you will learn over 100 words in Spanish that you didnt know you already knew!
Next, youll begin to learn simple parts of speech and how they work in Spanish. This is where youll begin to understand why you say what you say in Spanish. Vocabulary and quizzes are spread throughout the course to keep you constantly learning new words and phrases and to test your growing knowledge of the language. Youll then learn situational Spanish ie. Spanish in the home, at the airport, hotel, car rental, getting directions, buying and paying for stuff, at the restaurant, etc. And finally, youll really start to hone your parts of speech skills as you continue through the last section of the course as the lessons will clarify many pitfalls for English speakers. Many frequently asked questions will be cleared up in this section. For instance, para and por both mean for how are they used differently? or saber and conocer both mean to know how and when do I use each?
By the end of this course you will feel comfortable to speak and carry on conversation with any Spanish speaker and even travel to any Spanish speaking country with confidence that youll be able to get around without any problems. I look forward to seeing youon the inside!
Who this course is for:
This course is a beginner through intermediate Spanish course. If you know little to no Spanish this is your course!
If you are already conversational and fluent in Spanish but want to master Spanish this course isn't for you. (My Advanced Spanish Course is coming soon)

Before I was 20 years old I didn't know any Spanish, I bombed my 1 year of French in high school and thought Id never be able to learn a secondlanguage. When Iwas 20I took a 2 month crash course in Spanish and went toMexico for two years where I continued to self teachandmastered the Spanish language.Ive been speaking Spanish now for 14 years. Im a member of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. When I was workingin Miami, Imet a guy from Venezuela who had authored a book in Spanish. He wasn't very proficient in English and after about a week ofgetting to know himhe asked me if Icould translate his book to English. Which Idid and it was fun and all but translating a book isn't as exciting as teaching Spanish. Iwas an interpreter fora couple of landscapecompanies in Las Vegas and ran a business of my own inSpanish being that my employees were Spanishspeakers. Over the years I've had a lot of people ask me if Ican teach them to speak Spanish like I speak it. From these requests comes Spanish Made Simple. I've taken the conceptsof howI learned and mastered Spanish and have simplified themso that those who take mycourses will become conversational and fluent in Spanish in a simple step-by-step fashion.
